6000ILM Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)

Keysight Technologies

The Keysight 6000ILM AFM seamlessly integrates the capabilities of an atomic force microscope with those of an inverted light microscope or an inverted confocal microscope, letting life science researchers go beyond the optical diffraction limit to achieve nanoscale resolution without any special sample preparation. The 6000ILM allows molecular imaging, live-cell imaging, force studies, and mechanical stimulus studies to be conducted with a single-system solution, all while preserving an efficient, natural workflow. It is ideal for studying cell membranes, the surface structure of cells, single DNA/RNA strands, individual proteins, single molecules, and biopolymers. Key Features & Specifications of the Keysight 6000ILM AFM: Easy-to-use solution integrates ILM and AFM capabilities Simple point-and-shoot AFM imaging based on optical view  High-precision overlays of light microscopy and AFM images Motorized stage directs movement of sample beneath AFM tip

5500 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)

Keysight Technologies

The Keysight 5500 AFM/SPM microscope offers numerous unique features, such as patented top-down scanning and unrivalled environmental and temperature control, while providing maximum flexibility and modularity. The universal microscope base permits easy integration with an environmental chamber or an inverted optical microscope. Sample preparation is made easy with our unique sample plates designed for your application including imaging in fluids. A top-down optical axis through the scanner allows an unobstructed view of the cantilever and the sample without sacrificing sample handling. The scanner's modular nose cone makes changing imaging modes quick and easy. The Keysight 5500 SPM/AFM is a high performance system that facilitates advanced applications solutions. It offers atomic resolution and is ideal for electrochemistry, polymers, and soft material applications. Features and Benefits of the Keysight 5500 AFM/SPM Microscope: Highly modular system affords utmost fl exibility Unrivaled environmental and temperature control Superior scanning in fl uids, gases, or ambient conditions High-resolution scanner with large scan range Convenient vertical sample approach
